The man was getting closer, but I couldn't recognize him yet. I tried to remember who the man in front of me was, because I felt familiar with his face.
Getting closer, I was like getting to know Perfume from the police officer in front of me but I did not remember exactly who he was.
''Hi, Anggi''
The anggi?? Who is this guy why he knew my nickname in school? Was he my old school friend? But if it is, why do I not know this man at all?
''Sorry, do you know me?'' My habit of calling master to a man who looks older than me.
''Hehehehehe, do you really not remember me?'' Ask.
''Sorry sir I don't remember at all''
The man in front of me just shook his head slowly while chuckling. 'Yes, my gosh, she's so sweet there's a dimple on her cheek' My inner self.
''If this book do you not remember?'' He said he handed me a book.
Book in his hand. I looked carefully at the book and my tears trickled as I recalled all the memories of the book.
This book was my diary and my best friend when we were in school. Every day we both write our activities of the day, our prayers and wishes in this book. I looked at the man in front of me, was he Robin? A very good friend to me from a long time ago?
''Where did you get this book?'' I asked the police officer. He just smiled at me. There's a dimple I think my best friend has too. I hesitated to ask.
''A... What.... What is the master named Robin?'' I'm nervous.
''How do you think Anggi? Have you forgotten your best friend?''
My eyes blurred as the clear liquid gathered in my eyes, then raced down to wet my cheeks. Unconsciously I hugged Robin, I loved Robin so much, other than Robin and her parents no one else cared about me while still living in the village. Robin I've considered my brother and his parents see me as their son. I and Robin are 3 years different.
.
Every afternoon, after I came home from the neighbor's house, working as a laundry man, Robin would come home with her mother's food, we would study and after that we would eat. After eating, Robin is usually ready because the day has begun to twilight. It happened every day since the departure of my parents and I lived with mbok serly, until after mbok Serly died.
Until one day, when Robin's brother had finished High School, they and their family moved to another city, because his father who was a doctor got a job in a hospital in another city. I was in 2nd grade Junior High. From that moment on I went back to living my days, alone. I don't know what I'm going to give Robin as a memento at the time, because I don't have any treasure, or any good things I can give Robin as a memento. At that time for me it was just our Diary book this is a treasure that I have, the diary book I then gave to brother Robin as a memento.
''Silver this is all I can give as a memento, sorry brother I have nothing I deserve to give to brother'' I said at that time crying a mouthful.
''This is Anggi's most precious memory, I will keep it and I will come back one day to pick you up and make you happy'' Robin said, wiping away the tears streaming down my cheeks, let go of the good people who have always been there for me.
I took Robin's family away with tears. Robin's parents, hugged me before they actually got in the car and passed away and disappeared from my sight.
.
Brother Robin took off his embrace and wiped away the tears that would not stop flowing from my two neutrals. I stared deeply at Robin's brown netra, her eyes also glazed over. I knew Robin wanted to cry, only she didn't want to be seen in front of me. I know very well brother Robin.

The door opened and my daughter's pretty face appeared with Dita's mom there.
''Mama..''
Claudy ran up to me and hugged me, then she turned to look at Robin who was standing still holding my hand beside my bed.
''Ehem'' Ms. Dita cleared her throat and immediately Robin's sister took off her hand. I see his white face now meet red, is brother Robin ashamed? Hehe.
''How are you doing, son?'' Asked Dita while narrowing her eyes and looking deeply at me. I knew the meaning of the look of mom, she was asking about who the man beside me was.
''Sis Robin introduce this bu Dita, bi Dita this....''
''I'm a Rainbow lift parent nak Robin'' Sela bu Dita.
Why did Ms. Dita say that I was her foster child, why wasn't she honest that I was her daughter-in-law?
''Hello ma'am, I'm Robin. I'm a friend of Rainbow? Who is this beautiful child?'' Ask Robin.
''That's my son brother, my son is already two, one boy and one girl. Robin has a child how many?'' My toot.
I saw Robin's face turn sad when I said I had a child. Robin wouldn't want to be friends with me if I had kids. I don't know what he's thinking.
''Oh, you already have children? Oh yes, your husband, where do you not know the same brother? Hello beautiful boy introduce the name om, om Robin'' said brother Robin while smiling gently rubbing Claudy's head.
''Hello om Robin, my name is Claudy, can also call Audy'' said my daughter smiled.
What do I have to answer, do I have to say that my husband is married again and now I am a widow. Because in religion we are not allowed to have two wives or two husbands.
I looked at Dita, confused as to what I should say. If I told you I had a husband, Robin would ask a lot more questions. If I say I don't have a husband, I'm afraid to hurt Dita.
''Tell Robin, this rainbow has separated from her husband'' said bu Dita.
My eyes were round hearing the words of Dita ma'am. I think Dita's mom would be angry if I said I'd split up with the husband, uh, even Dita's mom who talked.
''Oh, oh, that's ma'am. Then excuse me, I still have to go to the office. Take care of your health, my lady, my dear Claudy take care of her mother''
''My mother said goodbye, please take care of Anggi, thank you''
Robin's sister then passed out of the room after saying goodbye to Dita's mom. After no more sound of steps in front of my ward, Ms. Dita approached me to the bed.
''Son, was that really just a friend? I think he likes you, son. I can see it from her gaze and I can see it in your eyes, son. If you like her too, I'll be very happy if you live together. Claudy would like to say that you were father Claudy?''
'Hehehe, there's-there's just this Dita ma'am where maybe Robin's brother likes me hahaha' My inner being laughs. While my son Claudy seems to be thinking, maybe thinking of a silly question. Yeah, silly, 'cause maybe Robin's brother was Claudy's father.
''I want oma, if I saw om it was dear to mama, so it must be dear to me too'' He said innocently.
I did put my heart on Robin, she was my first love, but given her status and the many other differences between us, I tried to forget that feeling. What's more when I married Hans mas, my love has been given entirely to Hans mas. After not being with Hans, the love in my heart for men seemed to be dead, only left for my children.
